Two short stories, one by Zeb Wells and Dale Keown pairing up dueling geniuses Iron Man and Beast; and the second by Christopher Yost, R'John Bernales and Chris Turcotte starring Thor and Iceman, are entertaining but slight in "A+X" #7.

It's "date night" at the Jean Grey School For Higher Learning, which in Jason Aaron and David López's "Wolverine & The X-Men" #24 apparently means a surprising amount of making out (and attempted making out).

If you always wanted to see Hydro-Man escape via toilet, then this book is for you. Of course, the fact that this thing clocks in at 100 pages might interest you too. Oh, and Octo-hostages, but no Octo-mom.
